Saturday looks to reach 90 plus in many spots quite quickly in the morning but by the end of the day it will be turning less hot. Sunday is a much more comfortable day. pic.twitter.com/yaPJfMmSP2

90° not reached today in most places so if there is going to be a heat wave it will be 3 days. There's a chance if the cooler air arrives early enough on Saturday there won't even be a heatwave. Nevertheless Thursday and Friday are quite hot. #weatherwisdom pic.twitter.com/PSl3rws1Hn

Hot and humid Thursday and Friday, at times it will feel like we are close to 100°. A Heat Advisory is in effect from Thursday morning through Friday evening to account for this, take it easy out there! pic.twitter.com/DkitCw6lVd
